Because Amen is the Same
40. Why Are We Different?

2 Weeks later

As Heti's mother said in the hospital, she would go to a restaurant where her son would often eat free ice cream. He wants to prove it himself.

Heti's mother came with her friend 4 mothers. They entered and the waiter came.

"Sorry just want to make sure, he said here there is a free ice cream on the condition of bringing a child?" Ask Mother Heti.

Waiter who came to serve Heti's mother and her friends was different from the person who always served Viona. He was confused to hear such a question. I have never heard of free ice cream. Because seafood restaurants so usual aqua drinks and drinks that have ice.

"Sorry ma'am before, here there is no ice cream" He explained politely which made Mother Heti look at the waiter while frowning in disbelief.

"Oh that way, you can't call a servant in Ahmad's name" Ask Heti's mother again.

"Sorry ma'am, if the waiter here there is no Ahmad, it's the name of our boss or the owner of this restaurant" he explained again.

"The problem is that Ahmad is not the boss but like mbak as well" replied Heti's mother and the four mothers of Heti's mother's friends just silently watched it.

"When the purpose of eating ice cream" said friends of Heti's mother who made Mother Heti feel bad to her friends.

"Is there a seafood restaurant other than here?" Asked Heti's mother again, she thought it might be wrong to enter the restaurant.

"There is but far from here ma'am, can I see in google maps" he replied again.

"Thank you, ma'am, answer your questions, hehehe" said Hethi's mother again with a laugh at the end of her sentence.

"Special Menu yes mbak, this is included with the drink?" Ask Mother Heti again.

"Yes ma'am, the drink can be requested, what is the drink?" Ask the waiter by providing a piece of paper and a pen for writing.

"Es lime alone, same as all" replied Mother Heti again, "there are those who do not eat seafood?" Ask her friends.

"Finished eating Heti's mother, take it easy. From here we find a free restaurant ice cream, pretty you know I also like ice cream" explained one of the friends of the mother of Heti.

"We will prepare" said the waiter and left.

Heti's mother and four friends shared the story while waiting for their order.

"Mother, how's Viona doing now?" Ask a friend of Heti's mother.

"Alhamdulillah, already at home just control and walking exercises so that his legs are not stiff" explained Heti's mother.

"Cock till it's that bad, ma'am?" Ask the other one.

"Yes, but thank God it's not so bad ma'am. I'm it if the child goes unsettled at home until they return" explained the other mother.

"Sama ma'am, that Viona I banned to her father's own hometown, but she's too bad to leave. The plan wants friends, but my daughter-in-law is very pregnant I can not leave, the first child is still afraid and confused for sure" explained Mother Heti who is considered to understand and understand.

"Excuse me, this is why ma'am, sorry if it's long and for the little ice cream will follow. The owner of this restaurant who ordered" explained the waiters who came to bring food and drinks.

And sure enough one waiter followed by carrying ice cream.

"Please try to hope you like" he said after giving the ice cream to the child brought by 4 friends of Heti's mother.

"Say what son?" Heti's mother asked the children of her friends.

"Thank you Om" said the four of them. Fortunately, the 4 boys had been sitting in a henchman since then, not bothering his mother.

"Sama-sama" he answered while the other waiters had already left after dropping off the order.

Waiter turned his back to leave, but his name was mother-mother, one of Heti's mother's friends immediately asked.

"You want an eskrim message, yes, for the five of us" he said.

Waiter was silent for a moment, not unwilling but these mothers are not young people who like to eat ice cream. Mothers are more lead to keep eating patterns and usually drink tea instead of ice cream. And the main problem is that the ice cream is indeed made specifically with a mix like Viona's taste. I don't know what Ahmad meant to make such an ice cream and the ice cream was not actually sold, and the ice cream was only in Ahmad's special refrigerator at the restaurant.

"I'm sorry that the ice cream is limited" explained the waiter again.

"It is also difficult, thank you mas" said Mother Heti lazy to discuss about ice cream.

They also ate until it was finished and the son of a friend of Heti's mother also said that the ice cream is really delicious.

At home Viona is engrossed in the story with her brother-in-law, Marcelea.

"Where are his legs?" Marcelea asked after sitting on the side seat of Viona.

"Thank God, I can't wait to get well. Already misses the ice cream at Ahmad's workplace restaurant" replied Viona with a little vent.

Viona immediately raised the thumb of her left hand signifying praising the ice cream.

"In the mix you see inside, that's what makes it delicious" Praise Viona while imagining the ice cream makes her want to eat.

"So want to, hehehe" he said again.

"But how can you eat ice cream, which hurts his hands and feet not inside, right?" Ask Marcelea to make sure.

"So very sis, I chat Ahmad, he's one of the waiters there" said Viona while typing on her phone.

"Mad can't I order the ice cream?" Ask Viona in a message.

After sending the message, Viona and Marcelea continued the story.

"How many months older, I think it's getting bigger" said Viona, holding Marcelea's distended stomach.

"It's been 9 months, just wait for the heart" he replied with a big smile.

"What's right, brother?" Viona asked in disbelief.

Marcelea nodded her head.

"Surely you can't wait for that moment?" Ask Viona again.

"Sure, all mothers must be like that Vio but a little scared too" He explained, "Ehh, can you ask?" Reciprocity.

"Ask me aja kak" replied Viona casually, "hhbentar kak no incoming message hopefully eskrim" he was happy.

Viona's smile immediately faded after reading a message from Ahmad.

"Why deck?" Marcelea asked after seeing Viona's moody facial expression.

"Ahmad said the ice cream stock ran out today so it can not be deh" Viona explained to her brother-in-law, "wonder what sister?" Viona continued curious because only this time her sister-in-law spoke until asking permission first.

"Dating with Alex?" Ask Marcelea.

"Ray never shot, but I don't want to brother, in Islam forbidden to date" Viona explained.

"And Ray said he wanted to be serious, but I knew we were both different" he said.

"You think, if there's such a serious man but not a believer, how?" Marcelea asked Viona because her cousin already knew the answer.

"There is no solution if it is not like Umm Sulaim and Abu Talhah brother" Viona replied again with a forward look.

"Hmm, I understand. But what if it wasn't like Abu Talha, would you still want to continue that relationship?" Ask Marcelea again.

Viona slightly took a rough breath then lowered her head.

"How can I exchange my love for my God just because of man" he answered with sorrow.

"I'm sure God is testing my love right now, wanting to see the quality of love in me. Is not God very jealous if his servant is more in love with his creation than his creator? And if so, I don't want to do that"

"Honestly, I'm still a layman in the world of romance, but not blind to real love. Is not the woman awake for the man awake, and vice versa. I believe that the soul mate is a reflection of ourselves not seen from the outside but the interior" said Viona again.

"What if she ever dated?" Ask Marcelea again.

"At least repent. Allah alone is very forgiving of our fellowmen not" said Viona again.

"Right, if he keeps forcing but does not want to be with us for example and if not obedient will go forever?" Ask Marcelea again.

"I'd rather lose him because of God than lose God because of him" Viona replied.

"I don't understand what you mean" Marcelea said with a smile.

"Brother pray that the priest may draw near to God and be with God" Marcelea prayed for her sister-in-law.

Viona smiles forced to hear that, clearly illustrated if she also loves Ray.

Marcelea looked at Viona, "i know the deck, you guys love each other right?" Ask again.

Viona grinned bitterly, "Free sister if not one goal" She replied, leaving Marcelea silent for a moment.

Marcelea confirmed Viona's speech so she chose silence.

From the interaction of Viona and Marcelea, it turns out Ray heard everything. Not intended eavesdropping just pass by want to go to the door of the house, faintly heard a sound from the side of the house, he decided to approach the source of the sound and hear everything.

"Why should we be different Viona, whereas I fear losing for the second time" Her inner self and unknowingly she dropped her tears.
